A colourful geometric mural on the walls on a contemporary stone staircase in an art gallery.

A site-specific mural by German abstract artist Lothar Götz (b.1963), commissioned to mark the 10th anniversary of the opening of our contemporary wing.

Influenced by Kandinsky, the Bauhaus and Ben Nicholson, Götz’s large-scale geometric murals create an intuitive dialogue with the architecture and social function of a space.

If you have a staircase that is completely white and you add colour, it doesn’t change the function but it does completely change our experience going up and down the stairs.
